2. This lease, which is a "paid-up" lease requiring no rentals, shall be in force for a primary term of Three (3) years from the date hereof, and for as long thereafter as oil or
gas or other substances covered hereby are produced in paying quantities from the leased premises or from lands pooled therewith or this lease is otherwise maintained in effect
pursuant to the provisions hereof.
3. Royalties on oil, gas and other substances produced and saved hereunder shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor as follows: (a) For oil and other liquid hydrocarbons separated
at Lessee's separator facilities, the royalty shall be Twenty Five percent (25%) of such production, to be delivered at Lessee's option to Lessor al the wellhead or to Lessor's
credit at the oil purchaser's transportation facilities, provided that Lessee shall have the continuing right to purchase such production at the wellhead market price then prevailing in
the same field (or if there is no such price then prevailing in the same field, then in (he nearest field in which there is such a prevailing price) for production of similar grade and
gravity; (b) for gas (including casinghead gas) and all other substances covered hereby, the royalty shall be Twenty Five percent (25%) of the proceeds realized by Lessee from
the sale thereof, less a proportionate part of ad valorem taxes and production, severance, or other excise taxes and the costs incurred by Lessee in delivering, processing or
otherwise marketing such gas or other substances, provided that Lessee shall have the continuing right to purchase such production at the prevailing wellhead market price paid for
production of similar quality in the same field (or if there is no such price then prevailing in the same field, then in the nearest field in which there is such a prevailing price)
pursuant to comparable purchase contracts entered into on the same or nearest preceding dale as the date on which Lessee commences its purchases hereunder; and (c) if at the end
of the primary term or any time thereafter one or more wells on the leased premises or lands pooled therewith arc capable of either producing oil or gas or other substances covered
hereby in paying quantities or such wells are waiting on hydraulic fraciure stimulation, but such well or wells are cither shut-in or production therefrom is not being sold by Lessee,
such well or wells shall nevertheless be deemed to be producing in paying quantities for the purpose of maintaining this lease. If for a period of 90 consecutive days such well or
wells are shut-in or production therefrom is not being sold by Lessee, (hen Lessee shall pay shut-in royalty of one dollar per acre then covered by this lease, such payment to be
made to Lessor or to Lessor's credit in the depository designated below, on or before the end of said 90-day period and thereafter on or before each anniversary of the end of said
90-day period while (he well or wells are shut-in or production therefrom is not being sold by Lessee; provided that if this lease is otherwise being maintained by operations, or if
production is being sold by Lessee from another well or wells on the leased premises ot lands pooled therewith, no shut-in royalty shall be due until the end of the 90-day period
next following cessation of such operations or production. Lessee's failure to properly pay shut-in royalty shall render Lessee liable for the amount due, but shall not operate to
terminate this lease.
4. All shut-in royalty payments under this lease shall be paid or tendered to Lessor or to Lessor's credit in at lessor's address above or its successors, which shall be
lessor's depository agent for receiving payments regardless of changes in the ownership of said land. All payments or tenders may be made in currency, or by check or by draft

5. Except as provided for in Paragraph 3. above, if Lessee drills a well which is incapable of producing in paying quantities (hereinafter called "dry hole") on the leased
premises or lands pooled therewith, or if all production (whether or not in paying quantities) permanently ceases from any cause, including a revision of unit boundaries pursuant
to the provisions of Paragraph 6 or the action of any governmental authority, then in the event this lease is not otherwise being maintained in force it shall nevertheless remain in
force if Lessee commences operations for reworking an existing well or for drilling an additional well or for otherwise obtaining or restoring production on the leased premises or
lands pooled therewith within 90 days after completion of operations on such dry hole or within 90 days after such cessation of all production. If at the end of the primary term, or
at any time thereafter, this lease is not otherwise being maintained in force but Lessee is then engaged in drilling, reworking or any other operations reasonably calculated to obtain
or restore produciion therefrom, this lease shall remain in force so long as any one or more of such operations are prosecuted with no cessation of more than 90 consecutive days,
and if any such operations result in the production of oil or gas or other substances covered hereby, as long thereafter as there is production in paying quantities from the leased
premises or lands pooled therewith. After completion of a well capable of producing in paying quantities hereunder, Lessee shall drill such additional wells on the leased premises
or Jands pooled theretvilb as a reasonably prudent operator would drill under the same or similar circumstances to (a) develop ibe leased premises as to formations then capable of
producing in paying quantities on the leased premises or lands pooled therewith, or (b) to protect the leased premises from uncompensated drainage by any well or wells located on
other lands not pooled therewith. There shall be no covenant to drill exploratory wells or any additional wells except as expressly provided herein.
6. Lessee shall have the right but not the obligation to pool all or any part of the leased premises or interest therein with any other lands or interests, as to any or all depths or
zones, and as to any or all substances covered by this lease, either before or after the commencement of production, whenever Lessee deems it necessary or proper to do so in order
to prudently develop or operate the leased premises, whether or not similar pooling authority exists with respect to such other lands or interests. The unit formed by such pooling
for an oil well which is not a horizontal completion shall not exceed 80 acres plus a maximum acreage tolerance of 10%, and for a gas well or a horizontal completion shall not
exceed 640 acres plus a maximum acreage tolerance of 10%; provided that a larger unit may be formed for an oil well or gas well or horizontal completion to conform to any well
spacing or density pattern that may be prescribed or permitted by any governmental authority having jurisdiction to do so. Eor the purpose of the foregoing, the terms "oil well"
and "gas well" shall have the meanings prescribed by applicable law or the appropriate governmental authority, or, if no definition is so prescribed, "oil well" means a well with an
initial gas-oil ratio of less than 100,000 cubic feet per barrel and "gas well" means a well with an initial gas-oil ratio of 100,000 cubic feet or more per barrel, based on 24-hour
production test conducted under norma? producing conditiyas using siaudacu (ease separator facilities or equivalent tesiing equipment; and the term "horizontal completion" means
an oil well in which the horizontal component of the gross completion interval in facilities or equivalent testing equipment; and the term "horizontal completion" means an oil well
in which the horizontal component of the gross completion interval in the reservoir exceeds the vertical component thereof. In exercising its pooling rights hereunder, Lessee shall
file of record a written declaration describing (he unit and slating the effective date of pooling. Production, drilling or reworking operations anywhere on a unit which includes all
or any part of the leased premises shall be treated as if it were production, drilling or reworking operations on the leased premises, except that the production on which Lessor's
royalty is calculated shall be that proportion of the total unit production which the net acreage covered by this lease and included in the unit hears to the total gross acreage in the
unit, but only to the extent such proportion of unit production is sold by Lessee. Pooling in one or more instances shall not exhaust Lessee's pooling rights hereunder, and Lessee
shall have the recurring right but not the obligation to revise any unit formed hereunder by expansion or contraction or both, either before or after commencement of production, in
order to conform to the well spacing or density pattern prescribed or permitted by the governmental authority having jurisdiction, or to conform to any productive acreage
determination made by such governmental authority. In making such a revision, Lessee shall file of record a written declaration describing the revised unit and stating the effective
date of revision. To the extent any portion of the leased premises is included in or excluded from the unit by virtue of such revision, the proportion of unit production on which
royalties are payable hereunder shall thereafter be adjusted accordingly. In the absence of production in paying quantities from a unit, or upon permanent cessation thereof, Lessee
may terminate the unit by filing of record a written declaration describing the unit and stating the date of termination. Pooling hereunder shall not constitute a cross-conveyance of
interests.
7. If Lessor owns less than the full mineral estate in all or any part of the leased premises, the royalties and shut-in royalties payable hereunder for any well on any part of the
leased premises or lands pooled therewith shall be reduced to the proportion that Lessor's interest in such part of the leased premises bears to the foil mineral estate in such part of
the leased premises.
8. The interest of either Lessor or Lessee hereunder may be assigned, devised or otherwise transferred in whole or in part, by area and/or by depth or zone, and the rights and
obligations of the parties hereunder shall extend to their respective heirs, devisees, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. No change in Lessor's ownership shall have
the effect of reducing the rights or enlarging the obligations of Lessee hereunder, and no change in ownership shall be binding on Lessee until 60 days after Lessee has been
furnished the original or certified or duly authenticated copies of the documents establishing such change of ownership to the satisfaction of Lessee or until Lessor has satisfied the
notification requirements contained in Lessee's usual form of division order. In the event of the death of any person entitled to shut-in royalties hereunder, Lessee may pay or
tender such shut-in royalties to the credit of decedent or decedent's estate in the depository designated above, if at any time two or more persons are entitled to shut-in royalties
hereunder, lessee may pay or tender such shut-in royalties to such persons or to their credit in the depository, either jointly or separately in proportion to the interest which each
1
owns. If Lessee transfers its interest hereunder in whole or in part Lessee shall be relieved of all obligations thereafter arising with respect to the transferred interest, and failure of
the transferee to satisfy such obligations with respect to the transferred interest shall not affect the rights of Lessee with respect to any interest not so transferred. If Lessee
transfers a full or undivided interest in all or any portion of the area covered by this lease, the obligation to pay or tender shut-in royalties hereunder shall be divided between
Lessee and the transferee in proportion to the net acreage interest in this lease then held by each.
9. Lessee may, at any time and from time to time, deliver to Lessor or fde of record a written release of this lease as to a full or undivided interest in all or any portion of the
area covered by this lease or any depths or zones thereunder, and shall thereupon be relieved of all obligations thereafter arising with respect to the interest so released. If Lessee
releases all or an undivided interest in less than all of the area covered hereby. Lessee's obligation to pay or tender shut-in royalties shall be proportionately reduced in accordance
with the net acreage interest retained hereunder.
10. In exploring for, developing, producing and marketing oil, gas and other substances covered hereby on the leased premises or lands pooled or unitized herewith, in
primary and/or enhanced recovery, Lessee shall have the right of ingress and egress along with the right to conduct such operations on the leased premises as may be reasonably
necessary for such purposes, including but not limited to geophysical operations, the drilling of wells, and the construction and use of roads, canals, pipelines, tanks, water wells,
disposal wells, injection wells, pi(s, electric and telephone lines, power stations, and other facilities deemed necessary by Lessee to discover, produce, slore, Ireat and/or transport
production. Lessee may use in such operations, free of cost, any oil, gas, water and/or other substances produced on the leased premises, except water from Lessor's wells or
ponds. In exploring, developing, producing or marketing from the leased premises or lands pooled therewith, the ancillary rights granted herein shall apply (a) to the entire leased
premises described in Paragraph 1 above, notwithstanding any partial release or other partial termination of this lease; and (b) to any other lands in which Lessor now or hereafter
lias authority to grant such rights in the vicinity of the leased premises or lands pooled therewith. When requested by Lessor in writing, Lessee shall bury its pipelines below
ordinary plow depth on cultivated lands. No well shall be located less than 200 feel from any house or barn now on the leased premises or other lands used by Lessee hereunder,
without Lessor's consent, and Lessee shall pay for damage caused by its operations to buildings and other improvements now on the leased premises or such other lands, and to
commercial timber and growing crops thereon. Lessee shall have the right at any time to remove its fixtures, equipment and materials, including well casing, from the leased
premises or such other lands during the term of this lease or within a reasonable time thereafter.
1 1. Lessee's obligations under this lease, whether express or implied, shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any governmental authority
having jurisdiction including restrictions on the drilling and production of wells, and the price of oil, gas, and other substances covered hereby. When drilling, reworking,
production or other operations are prevented or delayed by such laws, rules, regulations or orders, or by inability to obtain necessary permits, equipment, services, material, water,
electricity, fuel, access or easements, or by fire, flood, adverse weather conditions, war, sabotage, rebellion, insurrection, riot, strike or labor disputes, or by inability to obtain a
satisfactory market for production or failure of purchasers or carriers to take or transport such production, or by any other cause not reasonably within Lessee's control, this lease
shall not terminate because of such prevention or delay, and at Lessee's option, the period of such prevention or delay shall be added to the term hereof. Lessee shall not be liable
for breach of any express or implied covenants of this lease when drilling, production or other operations are so prevented, delayed or interrupted.
i 2. In the event that Lessor, during the primary term of this lease, receives a bona fide offer which Lessor is willing to accept from any party offering to purchase from Lessor
a lease covering any or all of the substances covered by this lease and covering all or a portion of the land described herein, with the lease becoming effective upon expiration of
this lease, Lessor hereby agrees to notify Lessee in writing of said offer immediately, including in the notice the name and address of the offeror, the price offered and all other
pertinent terms and conditions of the offer. Lessee, for a period of fifteen days after receipt of the notice, shall have the prior and preferred right and option to purchase the lease or
part thereof or interest therein, covered by the offer at the price and according to the terms and conditions specified in the offer.
13. No litigation shall be initiated by Lessor with respect to any breach or default by Lessee hereunder, for a period of at least 90 days after Lessor has given Lessee written
notice fully describing the breach or default, and then only if Lessee fails to remedy the breach or default, within such period. In the event the matter is litigated and there is a final
judicial determination that a breach or default has occurred, this lease shall not be forfeited or canceled in whole or in part unless lissee is given a reasonable time after said
judicial determination to remedy the breach or default and Lessee fails to do so.
14. For the same consideration recited above, Lessor hereby grants, assigns and conveys unto Lessee, its successors and assigns, a perpetual subsurface well bore easement
under and through the leased premises for the placement of well bores (along routes selected by Lessee) from oil or gas wells the surface locations of which are situated on other
tracts of land and which are not intended to develop the leased premises or lands pooled therewith and from which Lessor shall have no right to royalty or other benefit. Such
subsurface well bore easements shall run with the land and survive any termination of this lease.
15. Lessor hereby warrants and agrees to defend title conveyed to Lessee hereunder, and agrees that Lessee at Lessee's option may pay and discharge any taxes, mortgages or
liens existing, levied or assessed on or against the leased premises. If Lessee exercises such option, Lessee shall be subrogated to the rights of the party to whom payment is made,
and, in addition to its other rights, may reimburse itself out of any royalties or shut-n royalties otherwise payable to Lessor hereunder. In the event Lessee is made aware of any
claim inconsistent with Lessor's title, Lessee may suspend the payment of royalties and shut-in royalties hereunder, without interest, until Lessee has been furnished satisfactory
evidence that such claim has been resolved.
1 6. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this lease, Lessee shall not have any rights to use the surface of the leased premises for drilling or other operations.
17. Lessor, and their successors and assigns, hereby grants Lessee an option to extend the primary term of this lease for an additional period of Two years (2) from the end
of the primary term by paying or tendering to Lessor prior to the end of the primary term the same bonus consideration, terms and conditions as granted for this lease.
1 8. Notwithstanding any provision in the Form to the contrary, Lessee agrees that all royalties accruing under this Lease (including those paid in kind) shall be without
deduction, directly or indirectly, for the cost of producing, gathering, storing, separating, treating, dehydrating, compressing, processing, transporting and otherwise making the oil,
gas and other products hereundei- ready for use. Lessee agrees to compute and pay royalties on the gross value received, including any reimbursements for severance laxes and
production related costs. However, any such costs pertaining to transportation, that result in enhancing the value of the of the marketable oil, gas or other products to receive a
better price may be deducted from Lessor's share of production as long as they are based on Lessee's actual cost of such enhancements, in no event shall Lessor receive a price that
is less than, or more iiian, the price received by Lessee from an unaffiliated third pa.'iy purchaser. In addition, the first royalty payment shall be paid no later than 90 days following
the first month of production. Subsequent royalties shall continue to be paid monthly thereafter.
DISCLAIMER OF REPRESENTATIONS: Lessor acknowledges that oil and gas lease payments* in the form of rental, bonus and royalty, are market sensitive and may
vary depending on multiple factors and that this I^ase is the product of good faith negotiations. Lessor understands that these lease payments and terms are final and
